Modavigil increases wakefulness and daytime alertness in people who experience excessive sleepiness during the day, either due to narcolepsy, or due to a syndrome called obstructive sleep apnoea. Modavigil can be prescribed to improve wakefulness and alertness in people who suffer moderate to severe sleep disorders as a result of chronic shift work. However, Modavigil should not be used as a replacement for sleep and you should talk to your doctor about ways to try and maintain good sleep patterns.
Modavigil's mode of action appears to be different to other CNS stimulants, such as the amphetamine group of medicines that are also sometimes used to promote wakefulness. This difference is believed to reduce modafinil's potential for abuse and dependence, though there may still be a risk of this if Modavigil is used long-term.
The way in which Modavigil improves wakefulness is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to have an effect on specific parts of the brain responsible for keeping us awake.
